5 December 2023

On Friday December 8, PIASA and Jean-Baptiste de Proyart are organizing a sale of books and manuscripts from a private collection. Comprising 202 lots, this remarkable collection was built up by a passionate and discreet bibliophile. While his entourage and certain academics were aware of the collection's existence, the market was unaware of the grouping of these literary masterpieces. The collection includes first editions of works by Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine and many other great poets, as well as over a hundred autographed letters, all signed and intimate.

Discover in video, presented by expert Jean-Baptiste de Proyart, the most prestigious lots of this exceptional sale.
